"...mechanical studies of cells treated with
the drug latrunculin (which depolymerizes the majority of
actin polymers) indicate that ~90% of the cortical mechanical
properties are contributed by the actin network (primary sources)
Therefore, the membrane contributes only a small fraction to
these parameters (cortical viscoelasticity and tension)." |
